I am supposed to write a program in JavaScript to find all the anagrams within a series of words provided. e.g.:
monk, konm, nkom, bbc, cbb, dell, ledl, llde
The output should be categorised into rows:
1. monk konm, nkom;
2. bbc cbb;
3. dell ledl, llde;
I already sorted them into alphabetical order and put them into an array. i.e.:
kmno kmno bbc bbc dell dell
However I am stuck in comparing and finding the matching anagram within the array.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Javascript objects are excellent for this purpose, since they are essentially key/value stores:
// Words to match
var words = ["dell", "ledl", "abc", "cba"];
// The output object
var anagrams = {};
for (var i in words) {
var word = words[i];
// sort the word like you've already described
var sorted = sortWord(word);
// If the key already exists, we just push
// the new word on the the array
if (anagrams[sorted] != null) {
anagrams[sorted].push(word);
}
// Otherwise we create an array with the word
// and insert it into the object
else {
anagrams[sorted] = [ word ];
}
}
// Output result
for (var sorted in anagrams) {
var words = anagrams[sorted];
var sep = ",";
var out = "";
for (var n in words) {
out += sep + words[n];
sep = "";
}
document.writeln(sorted + ": " + out + "<br />");
}
Here is my take:
var input = "monk, konm, bbc, cbb, dell, ledl";
var words = input.split(", ");
for (var i = 0; i < words.length; i++) {
var word = words[i];
var alphabetical = word.split("").sort().join("");
for (var j = 0; j < words.length; j++) {
if (i === j) {
continue;
}
var other = words[j];
if (alphabetical === other.split("").sort().join("")) {
console.log(word + " - " + other + " (" + i + ", " + j + ")");
}
}
}where the output would be (the word, the match and the index of both):
monk - konm (0, 1)
konm - monk (1, 0)
bbc - cbb (2, 3)
cbb - bbc (3, 2)
dell - ledl (4, 5)
ledl - dell (5, 4)
To get the characters in the in alphabetical order, I used split("") ot get an array, called sort() and used join("") to get a string from the array.
Simple Solution
function anagrams(stringA, stringB) {
return cleanString(stringA) === cleanString(stringB);
}
function cleanString(str) {
return str.replace(/[^\w]/g).toLowerCase().split('').sort().join()
}
anagrams('monk','konm')
If it is anagrams function will return true otherwise false
I worked through a similar question to this today and wanted to share the results of my work. I was focused on just detecting the anagram so processing the list of words was not part of my exercise but this algorithm should provide a highly performant way to detect an anagram between two words.
function anagram(s1, s2){
if (s1.length !== s2.length) {
// not the same length, can't be anagram
return false;
}
if (s1 === s2) {
// same string must be anagram
return true;
}
var c = '',
i = 0,
limit = s1.length,
match = 0,
idx;
while(i < s1.length){
// chomp the next character
c = s1.substr(i++, 1);
// find it in the second string
idx = s2.indexOf(c);
if (idx > -1) {
// found it, add to the match
match++;
// assign the second string to remove the character we just matched
s2 = s2.substr(0, idx) + s2.substr(idx + 1);
} else {
// not found, not the same
return false;
}
}
return match === s1.length;
}
I think technically is can be solved like this:
function anagram(s1, s2){
return s1.split("").sort().join("") === s2.split("").sort().join("");
}
The reason I chose the earlier approach is that it is more performant for larger strings since you don't need to sort either string, convert to an array or loop through the entire string if any possible failure case is detected.
Probably not the most efficient way, but a clear way around using es6
function sortStrChars(str) {
if (!str) {
return;
}
str = str.split('');
str = str.sort();
str = str.join('');
return str;
}
const words = ["dell", "ledl", "abc", "cba", 'boo'];
function getGroupedAnagrams(words) {
const anagrams = {}; // {abc:[abc,cba], dell:[dell, ledl]}
words.forEach((word) => {
const sortedWord = sortStrChars(word);
if (anagrams[sortedWord]) {
return anagrams[sortedWord].push(word);
}
anagrams[sortedWord] = [word];
});
return anagrams;
}
const groupedAnagrams = getGroupedAnagrams(words);
for (const sortedWord in groupedAnagrams) {
console.log(groupedAnagrams[sortedWord].toString());
}
I had this question in an interview. Given an array of words ['cat', 'dog', 'tac', 'god', 'act'], return an array with all the anagrams grouped together. Makes sure the anagrams are unique.
var arr = ['cat', 'dog', 'tac', 'god', 'act'];
var allAnagrams = function(arr) {
var anagrams = {};
arr.forEach(function(str) {
var recurse = function(ana, str) {
if (str === '')
anagrams[ana] = 1;
for (var i = 0; i < str.length; i++)
recurse(ana + str[i], str.slice(0, i) + str.slice(i + 1));
};
recurse('', str);
});
return Object.keys(anagrams);
}
console.log(allAnagrams(arr));
//["cat", "cta", "act", "atc", "tca", "tac", "dog", "dgo", "odg", "ogd", "gdo", "god"]
Best and simple way to solve is using for loops and traversing it to each string and then store their result in object.
Here is the solution :-
function anagram(str1, str2) {
if (str1.length !== str2.length) {
return false;
}
const result = {};
for (let i=0;i<str1.length;i++) {
let char = str1[i];
result[char] = result[char] ? result[char] += 1 : result[char] = 1;
}
for (let i=0;i<str2.length;i++) {
let char = str2[i];
if (!result[char]) {
return false;
}
else {
result[char] = -1;
}
}
return true;
}
console.log(anagram('ronak','konar'));
I know this is an ancient post...but I just recently got nailed during an interview on this one. So, here is my 'new & improved' answer:
var AnagramStringMiningExample = function () {

(function() {

var dictionaryEntries = "buddy,pan,nap,toot,toto,anestri,asterin,eranist,nastier,ratines,resiant,restain,retains,retinas,retsina,sainter,stainer,starnie,stearin";
/* This could probably be refactored better.

var populateDictionaryHash = function(keyword, newWord) {

dHash[keyword] = (anagrams+','+newWord);
else dHash[keyword] = newWord;
};
var words = dictionaryEntries.split(",");
/* Old School answer, brute force
for (var i = words.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
var firstWord = words[i];
var sortedFirst = sortCharArray(firstWord);
for (var k = words.length - 1; k >= 0; k--) {
var secondWord = words[k];
if (i === k) continue;
var sortedSecond = sortCharArray(secondWord);
if (sortedFirst === sortedSecond)
populateDictionaryHash(sortedFirst, secondWord);
}
}/*
/*Better Method for JS, using JS Array.reduce(callback) with scope binding on callback function */
words.reduce(function (prev, cur, index, array) {

if (sortedFirst === sortedSecond) {
var anagrams = this.dHash[sortedFirst];

return cur;
}.bind(this));
}());
/* return in a nice, tightly-scoped closure the actual function

*/
return function(searchWord) {
var keyToSearch = sortCharArray(searchWord);
document.writeln('<p>');
if (dHash.hasOwnProperty(keyToSearch)) {
var anagrams = dHash[keyToSearch];
document.writeln(searchWord + ' is part of a collection of '+anagrams.split(',').length+' anagrams: ' + anagrams+'.');
} else document.writeln(searchWord + ' does not have anagrams.');
document.writeln('<\/p>');
};
};
Here is how it executes:
var checkForAnagrams = new AnagramStringMiningExample();
checkForAnagrams('toot');
checkForAnagrams('pan');
checkForAnagrams('retinas');
checkForAnagrams('buddy');
Here is the output of the above:
toot is part of a collection of 2 anagrams: toto,toot.
pan is part of a collection of 2 anagrams: nap,pan.
retinas is part of a collection of 14 anagrams: stearin,anestri,asterin,eranist,nastier,ratines,resiant,restain,retains,retinas,retsina,sainter,stainer,starnie.
buddy does not have anagrams.
My solution to this old post:
// Words to match
var words = ["dell", "ledl", "abc", "cba"],
map = {};
//Normalize all the words
var normalizedWords = words.map( function( word ){
return word.split('').sort().join('');
});
//Create a map: normalizedWord -> real word(s)
normalizedWords.forEach( function ( normalizedWord, index){
map[normalizedWord] = map[normalizedWord] || [];
map[normalizedWord].push( words[index] );
});
//All entries in the map with an array with size > 1 are anagrams
Object.keys( map ).forEach( function( normalizedWord , index ){
var combinations = map[normalizedWord];
if( combinations.length > 1 ){
console.log( index + ". " + combinations.join(' ') );
}
});
Basically I normalize every word by sorting its characters so stackoverflow would be acefkloorstvw, build a map between normalized words and the original words, determine which normalized word has more than 1 word attached to it -> That's an anagram.
Maybe this?
function anagram (array) {
var organized = {};
for (var i = 0; i < array.length; i++) {
var word = array[i].split('').sort().join('');
if (!organized.hasOwnProperty(word)) {
organized[word] = [];
}
organized[word].push(array[i]);
}
return organized;
}
anagram(['kmno', 'okmn', 'omkn', 'dell', 'ledl', 'ok', 'ko']) // Example
It'd return something like
{
dell: ['dell', 'ledl'],
kmno: ['kmno', okmn', 'omkn'],
ko: ['ok', ko']
}
It's a simple version of what you wanted and certainly it could be improved avoiding duplicates for example.
My two cents.
This approach uses XOR on each character in both words. If the result is 0, then you have an anagram. This solution assumes case sensitivity.
let first = ['Sower', 'dad', 'drown', 'elbow']
let second = ['Swore', 'add', 'down', 'below']
// XOR all characters in both words
function isAnagram(first, second) {
// Word lengths must be equal for anagram to exist
if (first.length !== second.length) {
return false
}
let a = first.charCodeAt(0) ^ second.charCodeAt(0)
for (let i = 1; i < first.length; i++) {
a ^= first.charCodeAt(i) ^ second.charCodeAt(i)
}
// If a is 0 then both words have exact matching characters
return a ? false : true
}
// Check each pair of words for anagram match
for (let i = 0; i < first.length; i++) {
if (isAnagram(first[i], second[i])) {
console.log(`'${first[i]}' and '${second[i]}' are anagrams`)
} else {
console.log(`'${first[i]}' and '${second[i]}' are NOT anagrams`)
}
}
function isAnagram(str1, str2) {
var str1 = str1.toLowerCase();
var str2 = str2.toLowerCase();
if (str1 === str2)
return true;
var dict = {};
for(var i = 0; i < str1.length; i++) {
if (dict[str1[i]])
dict[str1[i]] = dict[str1[i]] + 1;
else
dict[str1[i]] = 1;
}
for(var j = 0; j < str2.length; j++) {
if (dict[str2[j]])
dict[str2[j]] = dict[str2[j]] - 1;
else
dict[str2[j]] = 1;
}
for (var key in dict) {
if (dict[key] !== 0)
return false;
}
return true;
}
console.log(isAnagram("hello", "olleh"));
I have an easy example
function isAnagram(strFirst, strSecond) {
if(strFirst.length != strSecond.length)
return false;
var tempString1 = strFirst.toLowerCase();
var tempString2 = strSecond.toLowerCase();
var matched = true ;
var cnt = 0;
while(tempString1.length){
if(tempString2.length < 1)
break;
if(tempString2.indexOf(tempString1[cnt]) > -1 )
tempString2 = tempString2.replace(tempString1[cnt],'');
else
return false;
cnt++;
}
return matched ;
}
Calling function will be isAnagram("Army",Mary);
Function will return true or false

Another example only for comparing 2 strings for an anagram.

anagram(str1,str2)
Another solution for isAnagram using reduce
const checkAnagram = (orig, test) => {
return orig.length === test.length
&& orig.split('').reduce(
(acc, item) => {
let index = acc.indexOf(item);
if (index >= 0) {
acc.splice(index, 1);
return acc;
}
throw new Error('Not an anagram');
},
test.split('')
).length === 0;
};
const isAnagram = (tester, orig, test) => {
try {
return tester(orig, test);
} catch (e) {
return false;
}
}
console.log(isAnagram(checkAnagram, '867443', '473846'));
console.log(isAnagram(checkAnagram, '867443', '473846'));
console.log(isAnagram(checkAnagram, '867443', '475846'));
var check=true;
var str="cleartrip";
var str1="tripclear";
if(str.length!=str1.length){
console.log("Not an anagram");
check=false;
}
console.log(str.split("").sort());
console.log("----------"+str.split("").sort().join(''));
if(check){
if((str.split("").sort().join(''))===((str1.split("").sort().join('')))){
console.log("Anagram")
}
else{
console.log("not a anagram");
}
}
Here is my solution which addresses a test case where the input strings which are not anagrams, can be removed from the output. Hence the output contains only the anagram strings. Hope this is helpful.
/**
* Anagram Finder
* @params {array} wordArray
* @return {object}

}
let filteredObject = Object.keys(outHash).reduce(function(r, e) {
if (Object.values(outHash).filter(v => v.length > 1).includes(outHash[e])) r[e] = outHash[e]
return r;

i have recently faced this in the coding interview, here is my solution.
function group_anagrams(arr) {
let sortedArr = arr.map(item => item.split('').sort().join(''));
let setArr = new Set(sortedArr);
let reducedObj = {};
for (let setItem of setArr) {
let indexArr = sortedArr.reduce((acc, cur, index) => {
if (setItem === cur) {
acc.push(index);
}
return acc;
}, []);
reducedObj[setItem] = indexArr;
}
let finalArr = [];
for (let reduceItem in reducedObj) {
finalArr.push(reducedObj[reduceItem].map(item => arr[item]));
}
return finalArr;
}
group_anagrams(['car','cra','rca', 'cheese','ab','ba']);
output will be like
[
["car", "cra", "rca"],
["cheese"],
["ab", "ba"]
]
My solution has more code, but it avoids using .sort(), so I think this solution has less time complexity. Instead it makes a hash out of every word and compares the hashes:
const wordToHash = word => {
const hash = {};
// Make all lower case and remove spaces
[...word.toLowerCase().replace(/ /g, '')].forEach(letter => hash[letter] ? hash[letter] += 1 : hash[letter] = 1);
return hash;
}
const hashesEqual = (obj1, obj2) => {
const keys1 = Object.keys(obj1), keys2 = Object.keys(obj2);
let match = true;
if(keys1.length !== keys2.length) return false;
for(const key in keys1) { if(obj1[key] !== obj2[key]) match = false; break; }
return match;
}
const checkAnagrams = (word1, word2) => {
const hash1 = wordToHash(word1), hash2 = wordToHash(word2);
return hashesEqual(hash1, hash2);
}
console.log( checkAnagrams("Dormitory", "Dirty room") );
/*This is good option since
logic is easy,

console.log(Object.values(anagram));
the answer that comes to my mind:
function anagrams(stringA, stringB) {
const aCharMap = buildCharMap(stringA);
const bCharMap = buildCharMap(stringB);
if (Object.keys(aCharMap).length !== Object.keys(bCharMap).length) {
return false;
}
for (let char in aCharMap) {
if (aCharMap[char] !== bCharMap[char]) {
return false;
}
}
return true;
}
helper function:
function buildCharMap(str) {
const charMap = {};
for (let char of str.replace(/[^\w]/g, '')) {
charMap[char] = charMap[char] + 1 || 1;
}
return charMap;
}
but if you're looking for the easiest way:
function anagrams(stringA, stringB) {
return cleanString(stringA) === cleanString(stringB);
}
function cleanString(str) {
return str.replace(/[^\w]/g, '').toLowerCase().split('').sort().join('');
}
Here, I would first convert list of words in to anagram object. I am pushing anagram words in to new object where key is anagram. if anagram is already found in the object then I would concat the new word.
At last I am just taking out the values of result object. Code is self explanatory and short.
const input = "monk, konm, nkom, bbc, cbb, dell, ledl, llde";
const anagramCreater = (data) => { return data.split("").sort().join("");}
const anagram = input
.split(", ")
.reduce((acc, word) => {
const anagramWord = anagramCreater(word);
acc[anagramWord] = acc[anagramWord]
? `${acc[anagramWord]},${word}`
: word;
return acc;
}, {});
console.log(Object.values(anagram).join("\n"));
function isAnagram(item1, item2) {
if (!item1 || !item2 || item1 == item2 || item1.length != item2.length) return false
const ret = item1.split("").reduce((acc, c) => {
const index = acc.indexOf(c);
if (index > -1) acc.splice(index, 1)
return acc
}, item2.split(""))
return ret.length == 0
}
console.log( isAnagram("pippo", "opppi") )
If you order the letters for the words you can compare them easily:
const list = ['monk', 'konm', 'nkom', 'bbc', 'cbb', 'dell', 'ledl', 'llde'];
// creates a map for each anagram list
const anagramsMap = list.reduce((acc, curr, index) => {
const sortedWord = curr.split('').sort().join('');
return {...acc, [sortedWord]: [curr, ...acc[sortedWord ] || []]};
}, {});
// outputs one anagrams list per line
Object.values(anagramsMap ).forEach(items => console.log(items.join(', ')));
function checkAnagram(str1, str2) {
str1 = str1.toLowerCase();
str2 = str2.toLowerCase();
let sum1 = 0;
let sum2 = 0;
for (let i = 0; i < str1.length; i++) {
sum1 = sum1 + str1.charCodeAt(i);
}
for (let j = 0; j < str2.length; j++) {
sum2 = sum2 + str2.charCodeAt(j);
}
if (sum1 === sum2) {
return "Anagram";
} else {
return "Not Anagram";
}
}
